Luke 12:1-12 | The Fear that swallows every fear

Luke chapter

12, 1 to 12.

Meanwhile, when a crowd of many thousands had gathered so that they were trampling on one another, Jesus began to speak to his disciples, saying, Be on your guard against the yeast of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.

There is nothing concealed that will not be disclosed or hidden that will not be made known.

What you have said in the dark will be heard in the daylight, and what you have whispered in the ear in the inner rooms will be proclaimed on the roofs.

I tell you, my friends, do not be afraid of those who kill the body and after that can do no more.

But I will show you whom you should fear.

Fear him who after killing the body has power to throw you into hell.

Yes, I tell you.

Fear him.

Fear him who after killing the body has power to throw you into hell.

Yes, I tell you.

Fear him.

Are not five sparrows sold for two pennies? Yet not one of them is forgotten.

Indeed, the very hairs of your head are all numbered.

Don't be afraid.

You are worth more than many spirals.

I tell you, whoever acknowledges me before men, the Son of Man will also acknowledge him before the angels of God.

But he who disowns me before men will be disowned before the angels of God.

And everyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven.

but anyone who blasphemes against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven.

When you are brought before synagogues, rulers, and authorities, do not worry about how you will defend yourselves or what you will say, for the Holy Spirit will teach you at the time what you should say.

Amen.
